    Inc.;

2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
    of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
    the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
    statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered
    by this report;

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
    information included in this report, fairly present in all material
    respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
    of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.  The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
    establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
    defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal
    control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
    13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

      a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
      disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
      supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
      registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
      to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period
      in which this report is being prepared;

      b)  Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
      caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed
      under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
      the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
      financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles;

      c)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
      controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
      about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,
      as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such
      evaluation; and

      d)  Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
      control over financial reporting that occurred during the
      registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth
      fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
      affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
      registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.  The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed,
    based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
    reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of
    registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
    functions):

      a)  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
      design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
      which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
      ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
      information; and

      b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
      other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
      internal control over financial reporting.
